No not really.. A couple a steps to follow.. Clean and scrape out any old caulk or grout were the tile meets the tub.. make sure its dry and dust free.Have a caulk ready,there are 2 kinds that you can get. A silicone and it comes in several colors ,white clear and almond being the basis colors for a tub..This is a very good long lasting caulk,the only downfall is that it is hard to get a nice clean even line.. So you have to get the bead as even as possible the 1st time..Clean up is not with water but it ll last many years .The other kind you can use is a siliconized or latex caulk. This come in a few more colors and easier to work with. If your a 1st timer this is the way to go. You can apply a bead ( small thin bead) and w/ a wet finger smooth it out and gently finish wiping it down w/ a rung out damp sponge.. And you can redo it if you goof up as long as you wipe it out and let it dry.. The down fall this might be a yearly project because it won t last as long.. GLHow difficult is it to strip and recaulk the edges of a bath tub?
As long as your well equipped i shouldnt be to hard...They also sell a spray that you can use on the old caulk to get it up better...Taking the old caulk off will be the hard part... after it is clean a dr...you can apply the new....good luck...hope i helped
